The large amount of inert matter or
residuum in both the phosphate and
alum powders will be noted. This in
the phosphate powders is largely of
lime; in the alum powders it is chiefly
alum. 1t will be gratifying to the pub
lie to observe that the powder in most
general use, the Royal, is also the pur-
est. In comparing the first two pow
ders on the list. for instance-the Royal
and DR.. Price'S-the inert matter in
Prices is seen to be about five in seven
more than in the former, difference of
II 81 per cent, the Royal being purer
than Prices by corresponding figure.
The carbOnic or leavening gas pro-
duced by the powders indicates their
strength; and their true value may be
ascertained by considering the amount
of this gas in connection with their
inert matter or residuum, as shown
above. The higher the percentage of
gas and the lower the percentage of
residuum the better the baking powder.
These percentages, as found in some of
the most familiar powders, are given as
follows:

With the foregoing explanation the
study of these figures will readily give
consumers knowledge of the compare
tive value of the different brands. To
illustrate, with the percentages given
the two powders before compared: the
Royal containing lis parts of leavening
gas to 1O5 in Prices, its excess of
strength is Is in 1O.5, or 1874 per cent.

and purity of all the powders can lie
computed in like manner.

ION Wednesday Prof Roth offer
ed his resignation as President OF
Thiel College to the Board of Trus-
tees, who very properly refused to
accept it. We, in common with our
citizens at large, are pleased that the
DR.. is to remain with US. The col

He has labored hard for the advance
ment OF the college, which now ranks
foremost among the colleges of the
land"
1.-THE Commencement Of 'S7 is
over, and is one which will long be
remembered. Everything passed off
without an interruption, The per-
form ances, both literary and musical,
were of high order, and can only
reflect credit upon the college and its
instructors.
We hope that Thiel may continue
to prosper even more during the en-
suing year than she has in the past;
that her walls may be filled with
good and studious boys and girls, and
thus our institution will be second to
none. May success be hers, is our
most hearty wish"

Our Paper This Week.

The CITIZEN this week will give
evidence OF its desire to be as patriot
ic as possible. 1t may be said to be
"chock-full" of patriotism. 1t has
done all it could to revive the memo
ries of the Revolution, and direct the
thoughts of all. at the coming 4th OF
July, to the great deeds of our grand
forefathers The condition of our
country to-day would seem to require
this getting back to the old times 1t
is fast filling up with all manner OF
peoples, from every cline and part OF
the world. Many of these do not
know or care anything about the 4th
of July, or how our liberty as Ma
tion came. They must all be educat-
ed as to these matters. Then we
have at present organizations OF all
kinds, formed or forming. And we
have "strikes" of all kinds, going on
or threatening. These all come from
discomfort or wrong of some nature,
and, if ever combined, may seek to
overthrow the Government. Nothing
better than the history of our country,
and the manner in which our price
less liberties were obtained, taught
20 all comers and all societies, could
tend torestraln their violence and teach
reverence for our laws and instltu-
tions. In this view it is wise at this
time to bring to the attention OF all
the great value of our Government
and our homes.
On our first page will be found the
Declaration of Independence" in
verse: also much 4th of July reading,
illustrated, for the young, which we
were to some trouble and expense to
procure.
On our second page we give our
three popular National airs, "4 ankee
Doodle" "Hail, Columbia" and "The
Star SpaDgled Banner"
The tune of Yankee Doodle was OF
British origin, and brough ght over here
from Britain and played by her sold
iers at the first of the Revolutionary
war. But when the tide of battle
tn-ned the American soldiers took 1t
mn and turned it upon the British,
with change of words to suit the oc-
casion. And so when Lord Corn
wallis had to surrender his army at
yorktown to Gen. Washington, the
British soldiers were marched into
the American lienes under the tune OF
yankee Doodle" played by our SOL
diers. And ever since it became our
principal National air.
Hail, Columbia, "by Francis Hop
kinson, in 1898, is one of our best
and most patriotic airs and should be
IN memorized by all.
"The Star Spangled Banner" by
Francis Scott Key, was written IN
1914 during the siege of Baltimore by,
the British, in what is called the war
of 1912. AS it has reference mainly
to .'our flag" its reproduction just
now. when a good deal is being said
about the late "rebel flags" is timely
and appropriate, Its sentiments are
80 stirring, end its patriotism SO
bright, as to make all love, admire
and cling to the cold flag"

Crops and Harvest in This
County.

Harvest in Butler county has al
ready commenced. Some wheat has
been cut, and this week and next will
likely secure the best wheat crop we
have had in the county for some
years.
Some meadows are also being cut
and the hay crop is reported heavy
and good.
Corn never looked better at this
time in the season and promises line
ly.
The oats are said to be very heavy
on the ground and looking very
well.
The potatoes also look very we'll,
but the bugs are numerous and busy.
Rye is also good, but not SO good
as the wheat.
AS to fruit, the peach trees are
loaded and every promise is given OF
a very large crop Apples are plenty
enough upon the trees but are said
to be dropping off in larger numbers
than usual. What the crop Of apples
may turn out to be remains a little
uncertain. Garden and other small
fruits are good, and berries plenty.
Taken altogether it looks as if the
harvest at hand would be bountitul
and good one.
